13V Ultra Recce Run - Glenridding to Keswick - 16th August
Geared towards 13 Valley, 7V & 5V Participants
This official recce run will be hosted by LMG's experienced 'Run Guides'. The recce is an opportunity to see a section of the route, and ask our guides about ultra tips and advice.
Recce Section
This recce will provide you the opportunity a linear section of the 13V, 7V and 5V routes. From Glenridding the route climbs to Greenside Mines, and then further up and over Sticks Pass. A steeper descent drops the route into St John's in the Vale, where some field running is required to get to Threlkeld. From here it is time for some lovely trails around Glenderterra beck before dropping into Keswick.
We will run 30.5km, taking in 1120 ascent. Estimated time for the run is 6-7 Hours. Full information, including a route GPX, can be downloaded from your booking confirmation email.
Recce Run Ethics
This is not a race, nor an opportunity for you to see how long a section takes at 'race pace'. Your guides will guide the group in a way, and at a pace that best suits all abilities. Please come with the fact that this will be a far more social affair than a training run (even though it will of course be great training still!) firmly in your mind.
With this said, please be safe in the knowledge the recce distance and ascent is within your capabilties.
Recce Transport
After meeting at the finish point of the recce, we will be transported to the start of the recce at Waterhead.
Private Recces
If the date doesn't suit you, or you don't like the idea of running a group recce, you can hire your own run guide to suit you. Just drop us an email to explore this option.
